Young warrior, talented sportsman, and treasured life-long friend. Ray, we all loved you so much and will miss you more than words can say. From Maxine & the late Ron Smyth

It has been a privilege to know Ray over the last 30 years. We had many happy times going to the Warriors with Ray, Leslie and Jackie Percival. Also lots of good times at Auckland Leagues Club. What a wonderful life Ray had and he was loved and remembered by all he met. Condolences to all the family from Pamela Burns and from my sister Chris Jenkin.

Ray - a lifetime buddy to Tom, a singing partner for Joan - final one off to join (as he'd sing with Joan & Laurie) 'That regular, honest to goodness old bunch, they call that old gang of mine'
Go well - great memories of you all will remain forever.
Love to ALL to all the GIRLS
Philip E, Robert & Mary H 'mwah'

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

A roll model leader in the Rugby League industry . A mentor to so many young blokes and an inspiration to all of us who knew him well .
RIP champ .
